Behavior in the Workplace
Similar to the interview process, every company has its own culture, and certain behaviors at one company may not sit well at other companies. For example, the laissez-faire behavior at Google would not work at a banking institution. However, there are some examples of behavior that will not work at any place of employment. Some examples of those are the following:
Attitude issues (examples: dismissing constructive criticism, not listening to coworkers or supervisors, raising your voice and yelling at coworkers or supervisors when the situation does not call for it)
Foul language at the workplace (either towards your coworkers, supervisor or even using foul language on your phone during your own personal time)
A sense of entitlement (expecting success to land at your feet)
Constant Tardiness
Lack of listening or attentiveness (If your coworker and/or supervisor needs to constantly repeat instructions or topics to you, this is an issue, unless you have a medical condition. If you have a medical condition related to your hearing, it needs to be disclosed during the interview. If you obtained the job and are being mistreated after you informed the company or organization you have a medical issue, you need to report that to both HR as well as contact US Department of Labor at 1-866-487-2365)
Physical, Emotional or Psychological attacks on someone or multiple people
Theft
Assault
Harassment
Disrespectful actions or comments to colleagues and employers
Wearing articles of clothing that may be offensive to others
Check in with your manager to ask for ways you can grow as a professional and get feedback on your workplace behaviors
Show initiative - read the whole code base and come up with new ideas or fixes
While some of these may seem self-evident, there is a need to repeat that these actions will not only land you out of a job, but in some cases, legal trouble as well.
